Speaking of which, Zhu Dadian, the governor of the grain transport and the governor of Fengyang, discussed with the governor Yang Sichang, so he counted the people and rushed all the way to Wen County.

Nawen County is about fifty miles southeast of Huaiqing Prefecture City, 120 miles from Xiuwu County and 60 miles from Meng County.

This place is not as important as Hejin as Meng County, nor is it as controlling surrounding prefectures and counties as Huaiqing Prefecture, so its military significance is not very important.

Zhu Dadian took his subordinates to Biaoying, Li Chongzhen, Yang Yupan, Mou Wenshou, Zhang Shiyi and others for two days, and in the afternoon the next day, he saw the city walls of Wen County from afar.

"Military Gate, let's go into the city to rest?" Seeing that the sky was getting late and the red sun was about to fall, Fengsi General Yang Yupan couldn't help but step forward to ask for instructions.

The officers and soldiers first walked one day and one night, and walked a hundred miles.

After a long rest, I was sent to attack Mengxian early the next morning.                                                                                                                       

"It's good, but one thing is that the soldiers cannot enter the city to avoid disturbing the people; the other is that after everyone repairs for one night, they must set out in time tomorrow morning to avoid misleading the military plane." Zhu Dadian hesitated for a moment and could not help but make three rules.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Yang Yupan, Li Chongzhen, Mou Wenshou, Zhang Shiyi and others couldn't help but promise.

It turned out that according to the Ming Dynasty system, officers and soldiers marched in the mainland, and food and accommodation should be provided by passing prefectures and counties.

The food and salary during the war were planned uniformly by the court, and the governor was responsible for calling it.

However, now that officers and soldiers are fighting in the mainland, it is a confusing thing to count as marching or as combat.

The so-called "knowing the strings and knowing the elegant meaning." Since I saw the county town before, how could Zhu Dadian not know everyone's thoughts?

In fact, there are constant natural disasters and man-made disasters under the Ming Dynasty, and there are not many remaining funds in prefectures and counties. How can ordinary prefectures and counties be rich?

As for the court, if there is food and salary, why did Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian call on officials to pay donations some time ago?

Therefore, when the governor took office, the most difficult thing is to raise food and money.

No matter how others raise food and money, the governor of the canal transportation, Zhu Dadian, got the first to get the moon when he was close to the water.

Who is he?

He is the governor of the canal transportation!

He should handle all the food sent from Jiangnan to Shuntian Prefecture in Beijing.

When it comes to corruption and bribery, Zhu Dadian has always been unwilling to let the enemy down.

But if he asked him to intercept the grain and grass from the canal for other purposes, he would not dare to lend him ten courage.

Despite this, Zhu Dadian devoted himself to researching it for some time, so that he discovered a way to "get rich".

It turns out that the grain transported in this canal is mostly tax paid by various places in the south, and it needs to be collected before it can be transported and transferred.

Since the grain needed to be gathered together, the Ming Dynasty court followed the trend to establish warehouses along the Grand Canal to facilitate storage and support.

Among them, Huai'an, Xuzhou, Dezhou and Linqing, along the Grand Canal, all have warehouses, with ordinary storage of more than one million stones of rice.

Zhu Dadian took advantage of his power and first wrote to the court to apply for some grain storage for military training and pay and military rations.

After the court agreed, he first owed the soldiers the silver salary until the price of grain rose and then transferred the grain for sale.

By entering and exiting, you can earn thousands of taels of difference, which is quite important for "hoarding".

In this way, Zhu Dadian was able to fill his personal pockets and maintain his troops, and was called a "business genius".

Now this "business genius" leads a group of small "business geniuses", looking at the Wenxian County town in front of him, his eyes shining, as if he discovered a "business opportunity".

"Come here, tell the magistrate in front of you that the governor of the canal transport will pass by here, and prepare food and accommodation for us quickly. Otherwise, it will be wrong to deal with the matter with the bandits!" Zhu Dadian couldn't help but sneer.

Gu You

The soldier received the order and hurriedly followed Zhu Dadian's military order and rushed to Wen County.

Soon, the soldiers came to the city and saw that the gate of Wen County was closed, and there were thirty or fifty people standing sparsely on the city walls, wearing ordinary clothes. It was obvious that they were Ding Zhuang who was temporarily recruited by the magistrate.

He couldn't help but shouted arrogantly: "Where is the magistrate of Wen County? Come and obey the order!"

"I'm the one who is the one who is not sure... military order?" Hearing this, a man walked out of the city, seeing that he was only in his twenties, he had a somewhat elegant and calm demeanor.

The soldiers under the city were stunned and their tone was slowed down, saying: "Zhu Dadian, the Governor of the Cao Transport, led all the troops here, and ordered you and others to prepare food, accommodation, food and grass, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Food, food, food, and grass?" The magistrate on the city couldn't help but be surprised, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Wen County is just a small county town, how can it bear such a "heavy task"?

If it were put elsewhere, the soldier would have scared and scolded him before talking.

But he saw that the magistrate of Wen County was so young and had a good temperament, and he didn't know which disciple he was from.

This guy acted as an envoy. With too many messengers, he had some tricks. He was inevitably afraid of offending someone who should not offend him.

"If there is any difficulty, can you let me in the city and tell me in detail?" He couldn't help but smile.

"That's good...this is good!" The magistrate of Wen County pondered for a moment, nodded, and signaled to a hero holding a big knife beside him to look at him.

The hero got the order and went down the city tower.

Soon after a dull sound, a gap of one person wide opened in Wenxian City. The man just came down and signaled the soldier to go in.

The soldier turned over and walked upstairs with his horse. He saw that the man was about forty or fifty years old and was quite strong.

"Please!" The man saw the soldier leading the horse, and he couldn't help but push the city gate hard, making the gap bigger so that the horses could enter and exit.

"Good skills!" The soldier couldn't help but shrink his pupils and praised.

The city gates in this era are relatively heavy, and usually require three or five people to open and switch. This person can actually push the city gate alone, but his strength is extraordinary.

"It's a pity, but the farmer's style!" The hero smiled honestly, grabbed the big knife placed next to him, and reached out to make a call.

"Good man, if you are willing to serve in the army, I can recommend you to be a personal guard under the command of the governor!" the soldier couldn't help but lift him up.

"Thank you for your kindness. It's just that I'm nearly fifty years old and have no plans to leave my hometown for the time being." The brave man smiled honestly and declined the recruitment of the soldiers.

"Let's go and see your parents!" The soldier looked at him regretfully, and then he talked about the serious matters.

The two of them walked dozens of steps and happened to see the magistrate who had just come down from the city tower. They couldn't help but smile and said, "This is not a place to talk. I wonder if we can choose a remote place?"

"No need!" The magistrate waved back the more than ten strong men around him and walked forward a few steps.

"There are no outsiders in front of you, please tell me if you have something to do."

"Okay, so brave!" The soldier couldn't help but praise him, as a scholar, and then smiled.

"Is this a matter difficult or not? It's easy or not. If I hadn't met me, a kind-hearted person, I'm afraid you wouldn't know how you died!"

The soldier said this in a very rude way, but the magistrate of Wen County responded with a look of distortion: "How do you say this?"

"Wen County is a small county. Although it cannot afford more than 10,000 troops to eat and stay, can it still afford a governor, a few generals, and generals?" the soldier couldn't help but grin.
